JoyRant build 50.

I don’t know who else is still using JoyRant but according to TestFlight there are currently 73 users (wtf?!).

The new version doesn’t ignore the cert anymore because it’s been fixed.

And the new highlight is: auto-retry!
If a Slim Shady Error occurs, the app will retry up to 5 times until giving up and showing the error.

It’s really smooth again now. What a difference!

The retry feature is implemented on the SwiftDevRant SDK and is currently set to 5 by default.

@retoor if you want to use it, just update to the latest version 2.3.0
It’s better than just hiding the error because as a user you don’t need to manually repeat the request.

Have fun!

DevRant Slim Application Error

So will the real devrant please stand up
and put each one of those fingers on each hand up
please stand up
please stand up
(we're gonna have a problem here)

y'all act like you never seen a devrant before

'cause I'm Slim rant all you other Slim rants are just imitating so won't the real Slim rant please stand up,

lmao.

Don't you find it annoying when the dev team gives you the worst or less than absolute minimum of time to test a new release?

It's like... that itches with me so hard. Come on.. we're testing a build here. You want me to brush over this? The amount of bugs that might pop up...(oh yeah we just bill the client for those later lolololol)! Especially when no one wrote tests, or just minimal, I... sigh.

lol

Beep beep

Retoor is really refusing to let devrant die. At this point DR should be put out of his misery

Also have a wonderful 2026

365 days of bullshit

ah... devrant app is back. it's so cozy. totally different vibes 😋

I hate using well done libraries.
Yes, yes. Hear me out.
You need to learn how to use them, functions, variables, scripting language, etc etc!
God...
That's why I do my own.
Maybe I will do a CPU next? AMD 64 is hard syntax it ain't me...
Devant is better! Woohoo! Certificate and slim errors bye bye.

who wants kiki back???
i do! so view this as a petition to get kiki back... and protect kiki from any 'retoor' crap!

Gotta blame cloudflare!

How are we doing devRats?

What the actual fuck is Cloudflare doing forreal

i think i'm realizing I liked the act of programming but had no passion for software... or taking over the world like all those techbros

weirdly enough reading autobiography of benjamin franklin is making me connect weird things. Got any favourite old-timey books you found to be enlightening?

WOW, i'm the first!

Happy Christmas! May the source be with you 2026.

Jay Jesus!

Week: 119 (Year 3)

Oh yeah. We have stepped into the very last weekend of the year. How are you going to make it awesome?

Question: What are your 2026 resolutions?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19392896

I am actually downloading a Linux ISO using torrent.

This weekend (So, tonight and tomorrow, if I have the energy) I will be archiving my devRant data. I'll build my own tool which not only downloads rants, images, and comments, but also displays it in a readable (static HTML, if possible) format.

By next weekend or the following, I will be deleting my account. This is not due to drama, but due to the inactivity of the platform and the need to clean up my digital footprint before servers go down and it's too late.

Yeah - everything on the internet is permanent, but there's no need to make it easy for stalkers, I guess.

If you are interested in my progress on the tool or want to have a chat before I go, I'll check the comments every once in a while. Notifications are broken enough to be useless, so don't expect fast responses.

Tata, and good luck to all the ranters staying put!

Week: 119 (Year 3)

Plans for the second last weekend of the year?

Question: Have you done all your 2025 year resolutions?

You can check your 2025 resolutions right here -> https://devrant.com/rants/12057280

You can check your 2024 resolutions right here -> https://devrant.com/rants/10065108

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19391719

I TRY TO ORDER A VAPE STICK YOU FUCKING PSYCHOS.

https://devrant.molodetz.nl/preview...

So, if you buy something there: they have your credit card details, your picture, your passport. What's next? My pp size?

Do they want to make a loan in my name or something? FUCKING HELL.

This does not have to do with the shit EU is pulling of lately I hope? Because if that's the case, I will basically not shop much online anymore.

Life update:

- Got a job. Will start in Jan. I lost my other contract in september, so it's almost 3 months of stress. I really have to find a way to diversify income. 2025 will be the year of me finding a sidegig.

- I needed a better sound to mix my album, so I went to the pawnshop and bought a NAD amplifier and 2 ITT speaker cabinet. I think the amp is from the 80ies and the speaker are from the 70. Danish.

- My deskie suffered a catastrophic harddrive damage. I could exfiltrate all the data but the bios diag is failing so I will go buy another one

Merry christmas

fuck u wordpress

I am enthusiastically waiting for Friday to come around these days.

I don't know if my life's heading in the right direction.

One of my minions gave his 2 weeks notice. They grow up so fast 🥲

Has anyone ever...
well, never mind... me neither...

Forget I said something.

FML took way too many long showers over the weekend and have scald burns all over my left ass cheek, bought all sorts of pain treatments so it hurts less to live lol

What it's like working with a boss with 170IQ

<we have an elaborate in-house developed company project system, like Jira>
System Request: Ability to duplicate project tasks

Boss: "That could take a few months. We would have to create a separate UI for each data point, allowing the user to granularly select every piece. They may want to copy data from one, or more previous records. We'll need lookup data points for this...that...and the other...then testing...oh, we'll have to create mgmt infrastructure to manage those lookups. DBAs will need to be heavily involved. And then we'll need reports to track the state of those duplicates. This is just the tip of the iceberg."
Me: "Or use the existing Clone methods we used for testing. Only data we wouldn't copy to a new record is the audit history. The new record UI wouldn't change at all. At worst, including testing, maybe a couple of hours of work. I could have a new version by this afternoon."
Boss: "No..users will want more control. Too many mistakes could happen."
Me: "I only ever see Nick using that feature, since he is the one who requested it. Maybe we should keep it simple for now and add the complexity if its needed later?"
Boss: "I'll have to think about it. Right now, I think we should do all the work now so we don't have to do it later."

Starting to hate companies more. Some company in their online application was asking for SSN, birth date, and legal name. When you apply to a company that is ONLY provided when doing background checks after an offer has been made. Any other time and it is a red flag for a fake company stealing identities.

I reported the fuckers to linkedin for fraud. Also messaged them directly and told them it was inappropriate and makes them look like identity stealers.

Hundreds of people applied to this company. Stupid fuckers.

Should I order a McDonald’s happy meal at 1 am?

Is this the code life
Another scrum meeting
Caught in the the Node life
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the screens and see..
I'm just a dev boy
Doing some debugging
Because there's warnings here
Errors there
Segment faults
Everywhere
Anytime you distract
Takes another hour from me
From me

*piano starts

Mama. Just committed a bug
Merge the branch to production
Did it fast for milestones
Mama. The repo has just begun
But now they going to throw the stack away.
Mama. U u u uu

But it's the only stack i know how to setup
In Ubuntu. Without docker
I really don't get vagrant

*piano

It's too late
My team is done
Some dev is working in Nepal
A UX dev. Now what is that?
Goodbye everybody

Gotta leave this lame meeting
And face the truth
Oh nooooo. I i interns

I don't want to stay till 3 in the morning

*epic guitar

What the f*ck did you do that?
Magnificcooooooo

I was just coding and nobody liked it
He was coding and nobody liked it, spare his some time to do his debugging

Easy man. Here go. Will you let me code?
A meeting. No,we will not let you code. ( let me code)
A meeting. we will not let you code. ( let me code)

Screw you guys, I'm gonna code and commit. Commit. Comiiiiitt!

*epic guitar

So you think you can review me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can dump me and erase my branch?
Oh baby, cant do this to me baby
I've just have to log out.
I've just have to log outta here

*epic guitar solo

Nothing really matters
The users will not care
Nothing really matters
To them

Any way this code blows
